Has anyone fitted a 'LONG' swingarm of the Ss on an R ?

Whould there be any benefits in the handling of the bike? I am curious how the XB12R with a longer swingarm would handle and if it is worth the extra money.

Is it just 'bolt on' using the same rear shock ?

It is not an easy swap, the hardest part being the shock.

My research shows you will need the following:

Long Swing Arm
Rear Fender/Belt guard
Rear brake line
Front Forks
SHOCK!?!
Space subframe
Belt
Swingarm brace
Idler pulley
